Queen Ant
From A Tale in the Desert
Obtaining
- Queen Ants are Obtained by examining plants.
- This option is not availible on wood bearing trees, cacti, or thorn-giving plants.
- The hotkey "E" will also accomplish this task.
Carrying an Ant
- Queen ants used to die if kept in inventory for more than 5 minutes. But they now live in inventory for at least 24 hours regardless of whether you have any fresh leaves in your inventory.
- Queen ants can also be stored in a warehouse or chest for at least 24 hours.
- If a Queen Ant dies it will become a Dead Ant.
Raising Ants
Myrmecology Allows the building of an Ant Colony for our Queen ants.
Comments
- Ants gain 3 health every time teppy week ticks over with the max health being 21.
- Prior to 9 of 21 health ants show no behaviour other than requiring 21 of the freshest leaf per teppy week
- AT 9 health my ants produced 2 Mandibular Glue. At the time of this edit we have no idea what this means or what it is used for. - Diania 27/3/2009
- It appears that glue does not have to be removed, but can be stored as would cobra skins or crushed eggs shells are, that is, within the tank. 18/4/2009 Diania
- Ants reproduce babies every 21 days and the health of the tank goes down to 0
- Ants can survive at least 14 hours without leaf in their tank
